I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

Seed pod forming. Have to keep an eye on it cause these are short lived bulbs and the best way to increase your supply is by seed (so I'm told! 😉).

Hi @Scottik1962, it's from a grower in Tasmamia so it should! :)

@Scottik1962 Gary has heaps of different/unusual tiny bulbs. Over the last few years I've been building up my collection from his stalls at plant fairs! He has a great range and is very knowledgeable.

Does he have tag on here. Never been to a plane fair except for the annual garden show. Would love to know where he has his stalls

@Scottik1962 I don't think so. He's pretty old school. I don't think he's even got a website. Try giving him a call. He's super friendly and very knowledgeable.
